[@emmagreen9346]

Was just thinking that haha!

[@alicearmitage]

Jared you may ruin everything, but you certainly never fail to MAKE my day!😂 Seriously, you never fail to me laugh.

[@madscrazylife6010]

Alice Armitage totally agree 😂😂😂

[@sheridoncampbell3006]

I would say the same even though he might ruin things sometimes he never fails to make me laugh 😆

[@haileyheavens]

I'm so glad to have you guys on youtube. I may be young but I have learned soooo much about how I want to handle things when I start a family.

[@ellieandjared]

Thanks! = )

[@janetraona9071]

“Humble and Kind” sung by Tim McGraw. That’s the song my son chose to dance with me at his wedding. So many things in that song were lessons I thought him. Im so proud of my son. My husband, my son’s dad, died unexpectedly when my son was only 14. He has grown to be such a wonderful man.

[@Kate__143]

"Take Me Home, Country Roads". My mom used to sing that to me until I was around 10. She's still living, but it just really reminds me of a more innocent time in my life. I don't see her all that often because of distance ❤️

[@kascott2006]

I love that song. My husband and I are fans of the West Virginia University Mountaineers so that song means a lot to us!

[@kathleencuster1720]

“Take Me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver is very special to me too. This song will always remind me of my parents. It transports me back to my childhood. My brother, my sister, and I would sing this song at the top of our lungs as we jumped on my parent’s bed while our Dad got ready for work. He worked overnights at the White House in Washington, DC and we lived quite a distance away in Virginia. He would have to leave for work right before we went to bed. It’s amazing how music can evoke such emotion and so many memories.

[@wandalee3265]

From WV!! 🙌🏻💙💛

[@Brewer8481]

Good song!

[@jennifern297]

Kitty Prieur Oh my goodness yes! My cousin and I at my Grandma's in her bedroom listening to her (8 tracks I think that's what they were called) but yes so many John Denver songs. Or when my brother and I were driving to go snow skiing and in the distance seeing a hawk riding the thermals...magical!!!!

[@kristenestrada3218]

I love how practical you guys are. I love that you aren’t going to go over the top with decorating a nursery. And how Jared searches for his air pod. It’s refreshing to see a wholesome family on KZbin. 💙

[@KatieMosher]

JARED one thing you don't ruin are these vlogs!!!

[@MarshaBenne]

Completely Katie agree!!! They are always wonderful

[@sheashea3261]

Completely Katie agree they always make my day

[@morgan4474]

The blanket your mom made would make a good wall hanging.

[@morgan4474]

Yes woodland creatures are thing right now, too.

[@meeesh7507]

Jared’s editing is on point this episode. Love the different angles while he’s telling a story/fixing the car. Kept it interesting

[@annafischer5196]

I just watched a vlog from 4 years ago when you took Jackson to the mall the first time and I am so thankful that we can still be a part of your journey. You probably don't even know how much we can learn from you! Ellie and Jared, you are amazing and I hope you never forget that ☺💜

[@nickysusette3449]

Currently studying abroad in Spain, and I love that you guys post videos right when I get back from classes!!!

[@janetdamboise6225]

You are so lucky to be touring in Spain!! I use to live there back in the late 70's and early 80's and did I ever have the time of my life!! There was so much to do in Madrid, so many disco techs and they were out of this world!!!

[@nickysusette3449]

Aww thanks for sharing Janet! It’s been wonderful!!!!

[@abigailbon6203]

One song that gets me every time is “Humble and Kind” by Tim McGraw. My sophomore year of high school and friend and classmate of mind took his own life and it was devastating for out community. When I graduated high school, we have a rose ceremony where we give roses to our loved ones and every student in my class had a rose to give to the family of the classmate we lost. This was the song we had chosen for that moment and it was such a tender and special moment to all come together in that difficult time.

[@livinglifewithlaura2256]

How can I get to this level of happiness and pure joy over the smallest things?! I mean..y’all are ALWAYS cheerful.

[@haleyhawks2845]

My dad wakes up every morning singing a new song, sometimes it’s an oldie, sometimes it’s country or rock, but it never fails that he wakes up with a song in his head. A song I will always remember him singing though is the Mr Rodgers “beautiful day in the neighborhood” song, every morning taking us to school, and he would sing it driving through our neighborhood. Music is powerful, and it can sometimes be the one thing that heals hearts. Thank you for reminding me of this. ❤️

[@the_voice_of_reason]

Good job with the retrieval of your air pod Jared, well done. Nothing ventured nothing gained. You two are great parents, so take a bow 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♂️. You are my Sunshine.. that song takes me right back to my childhood home, my parents would sing that to each other regularly, it’s bitter sweet now because I close my eyes and I’m back there. It makes me want to go back in time, and yet it makes me sad because I miss them so much .. I’m 67 now and they have both been gone a long time.( tears now). Keep savouring every moment with your beautiful family. God bless all of you and the little one on the way. I watch your Vlog every night as I get into bed. Cheers, Suzy from Australia 🇦🇺

[@rousingtherelics]

Singing 'The Old Rugged Cross' transports me back to Sunday services with my grandparents. Hearing the song in services still brings tears to my eyes as I sing it and reminisce family times. So glad you found your ear piece - I just learned from you I can also open my center console up - so you've been redeemed of all past mistakes, :). Great job, Calvin, you're well on your way!

[@WickedWonder1979]

Music is just necessary in my life. I have so many songs that have places in my heart, I'd leave a whole book here! Have a good day!

[@ryannedejonge2159]

Humble and kind by Tim McGraw! I listen to it every morning while getting ready for the day. Very peaceful and a good reminder ❤️

[@juliee527]

Amazing Grace takes me to the memories of my Grandma laughing, joking and most of all smiling and lighting up the room when she walks in... I have not had my Grandma for 18 years now, but that song gets to me every time both sad and happy memories ❤️

[@madscrazylife6010]

You are my sunshine. My aunt and my grandpas listened to that song all the time and would sing it. It takes me back to sitting next to them on the couch and singing together that song. Miss them. I love your family! You guys make me happy everyday and I look forward to watching your vids everyday.

[@nickysusette3449]

Amazing Grace reminds me of my Grandma. I was young when she died but I always hear from my dad how that was her favorite song. Now that I am older and sing myself, singing that song always makes me think of the special bond between my dad and his Mom 😊

[@ashlyngardner518]

today vlog was just gold! jared's jokes and ellies beauty was a great combinations

[@sarahjobe9606]

“You’re a Good, Good Father” reminds me of my friend who passed away from heart issues almost a year ago. I can’t hear the song without rejoicing that Caleb is no longer sick, but also crying because my heart miss him so much. I truly believe that music changes lives.

[@Brittanyleighplusthree]

ellie could you do more cleaning videos?! (if you’re feeling up to it) i love watching those types of videos and i know you LOVE cleaning! 😊

[@raquel5321]

[@sarahburkett6222]

Your family is inspiring!! My dad was a bluegrass gospel musician. He passed away almost 4 years now but his CD is the only one I still own and it takes me back to a flood of good memories! I agree music is powerful! It helps me when I'm missing him.

[@Meralynfamily]

I never get tired of that story Jared 😂 I spilled a giant soda in the car when I was pregnant and I just cried and cried. Ryan thought it was hilarious!

[@danip2476]

Remember when you guys used to say “This is exciting!” and did handstands at the end of every video :-)

[@RachelVrbas]

You are so right Jared! Music is so powerful and such an amazing gift that God has given us! The way you ended the vlog was one of my favorites!

[@K1TTY6693]

I love how music can do that to almost anyone. I have a song that reminds me of my poppy and hearing it any time instantly brings me to tears. Love you guys have a wonderful rest of your week, Canada

[@jamiewalker3563]

The song Armies of Helaman (I think it's called something else, but that's what we say) reminds me of my sweet Grandmother who would request that each of the men in our big family sing it at our annual camping reunions. We would sing it loud as it echoed through the Idaho mountains. There was never a dry eye. It was one of her small attempts to bring hope in some of the family returning to the Church and finding a righteous path again. She passed a few months ago, but we still plan on singing that for her in the exact same spot every summer. *Jared, you are hilarious. Your editing talents and clips that you come up with, even simple, everyday things you make interesting and fun, when really they are not. I appreciate that. I literally laugh out loud everyday and look forward to it. *Ellie, I am in the beginning of potty training my 4th baby. You are inspiring me to keep at it, because, you are right, each kids is different. Love you guys!! From Salt Lake City!!

[@harleylee6623]

"How great thou art" was one of my grandmas favorite songs. I heard it on the day of her funeral, and i vividly remember the two women that sang it, the organ, being surrounded by my family In the church, and even though their voices werent perfect and they were older, I will never forget that song and the looks on my families faces. It is as beautiful as my grandma, and although it was the first time me hearing it on that day, its engraved in me, it was awesome hearing your story

[@Sarah-ir1sl]

"I can only Imagine" it was my uncle's favorite song, and it was played at his funeral. i have such amazing memorize from when i was very young! when i listen to it i feel like i'm getting one of his bear hugs! the movie comes out this year and i'm so grateful they made one!

[@2Blessed]

Music is powerful! It's amazing how you can even hear a song you've never heard before, and it still brings back a memory. Bagpipe music always reminds me of my grandmother, she was Scottish, and adored bagpipes. There are so many songs that remind me of someone, but in particular, a song called "Hug Him Once for Me" always makes me cry and think of the baby we lost 5 years ago. It is sad, but also so comforting at the same time. Also, I had always said I would never marry a man if he didn't sing to me, and my husband does all the time! The first time my sister met him, we were riding in the car - he and I were in the backseat and she was driving. He started singing softly to me, and when we got home, my sister came to me and said, "He's the one! He sang to you!"

[@keelydavies5627]

Waltzing Matilda an old Australian song , is one that always reminds me of my late grandma , she used to sing it to all her granddaughters and I just have fond memories from being younger listening to her singing it to us - such precious memories

[@dilekasar6648]

You’re My Sunshine - This song reminds me the relationship that I had with my grandma(dad’s mom).She passed away 6 years ago.We had such a strong bond together and she was always there for me.I just remember her sitting on the sofa,sunlight beams on her and smiling at me and say “My precious”. This song takes me there.I love her so much.

[@samanthafitzgerel4460]

My Daddy fought in WWII and I remember him dancing with my Mom to Jimmy Durante’s “I’ll Be Seeing You” as sung by Louie Armstrong. From my Daddy I learned to love Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Charlie Pride....etc. My Momma loved Ella Fitzgerald but my sweet Momma couldn’t carry a tune in a water-bucket (God rest her sweet soul.) But, I’m fortunate that my parents loved music!! My Daddy played the trombone in a band with the Masons & I started taking piano lessons at age 5 & took them for 14 years. I still love to play!! I was also the classic band geek in High School & was a percussionist. Thanks for asking us to write down a memory, I sure do miss my parents, but am blessed to know that I WILL be with them again, some sweet day!! ❤️

[@AZgirl1996]

Hey Ellie & Jared! I just love your vlogs and want you both to know that I really think you are both not just wonderful parents, but wonderful people! I think it's amazing how you both just glow in each video you post. I love watching all your ups and downs you go through together, and how much you make the viewers like a part of your family. Jared, I love how you add in your sense of humor and "personal touch" in videos (like with the potty training update) making it seem as a "news flash". Keep up the great work guys! Love ya all! BTW did you decide on a baby name yet?

[@athomewithlexii]

I don’t think anyone gets how much I adore this family❤️

[@courtneynichole4349]

lexy b I get it

[@vanessakizyma7701]

8 years ago. My Mom and I flew across Canada to see The Eagles. The concert was amazing, it was outdoors in a football stadium. They never played Desperado, even after the encore. Everyone was gathering their things to leave, when you hear the first few notes of Desperado... Everyone turned to the dark stage. Then one spotlight turned into Don Henley at a piano. I had goosebumps the entire time. Desperado will always remind me of my Mom and her love for music and sharing that love with Me. ❤️❤️❤️

[@auntiegina03]

Jared, Glad you were able to retrieve your ear bud. There are many songs of the 1960s that I enjoy and remind me of people and places. I use to live an hour away from my Uncle Gabriel so I enjoyed it when he would come and get me for visits when I was a kid. He had an orange van that had shag carpeting in the back. He had 2 bean bags and a mini fridge filled with 7 up and Wrigley's Gum in the white package. I would sit back and relax and he would have Motown playing on the radio. When he would wash the van he would have Jose Feliciano's Sunny blasting from the speakers. To this day I associate that song to spending time with my Uncle and a fresh clean scent. I now turn that song on when I am cleaning my house and love it!

[@sidleyt]

“Rachel platter - Fight song “ it was a song I connected with my niece . My niece was a strong little girl . She would fight through everything. It’s been hard to listen to that song since she passed away December 27 , 2016. That song will alway make me think of her .

[@veronsacustard6195]

"Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman reminds me of my mom. She died when I was 10 but whenever I hear the song I'm right back sitting in her lap in the kitchen listening to it on the radio. Thanks for sharing Jared!

[@emmamadsen3111]

“Praise God from whom all blessings flow” was my great grandpa’s favorite song! He was a pastor and it was his favorite. When I was 6/7 we would visit him in the nursing home and sing hymns to him and he always requested this song! ❤️❤️❤️

[@cindywade2909]

Old country songs remind me of both of my grandmas. They have both passed away but I can remember dancing and singing with them both. Happy memories.

[@larkbird9247]

You ought to frame that blanket: the first one... so special.

[@lauemiands]

A song that makes me remember my grandma is I belong to Glasgow, the only scottish song she remembered the words to, and she was the best grandma ever. I miss her daily. Your videos are awesome!

[@Kattitude7490]

When I was pregnant and found out we were having a boy, me and my husband couldn't decide on a name, we went on a road trip and the Beatles song "Hey, Jude" came on. I liked the name from then on, when Jude arrived 7 weeks early, the song kept coming back to my mind, seeing him In an incubator, we then found out his blood type is B+ and the basis of the song Hey, Jude is that you need to "be positive" (B+) so the name stuck, and we play it to him frequently. 😍

[@tashsarra81]

Songs! Right now all that comes to mind is my parents! My momma passed away this past November 7th so when u mentioned songs it made me think of her favorite song “Hit the Road Jack!” She was so feisty so it suited her! It was her ringtone on her phone! And then my daddy, his song for her is “Just the Two of Us” and it always makes me smile thinking of how much he adored and still adores her! They were missionaries in Africa and dad is still going strong in Zambia for the Lord to fulfill their purpose there! Those songs will always mean the world to me!

[@katydoyle9361]

My cousin wrote the country song 'what I like about Sunday'. The moment I heard that my uncle died (my cousins dad). This song played on the radio. Everytime this song comes on the radio it reminds me of my uncle and all the amazing memories that we shared together over the years. Everytime this song comes on the radio I blare it and tear up as I sing along!

[@eshea85]

“Love Potion #9” was my grandma’s favorite song. She passed away almost 20 years ago and whenever I hear it I think of her and smile from ear to ear. Love the precious moments of life like that! ❤️

[@Sebica4]

I can't imagine living my life without music. So many songs make me think of people who are important to me, make me think of stories of my life...music help me day after day... "L'hymne à l'amour" from Edith PIAF when my grandfather passed away, "Vole" by Celine Dion when my dear cousin passed, "Endless love" when I met my husband, "Kissing you" from Des'Ree, "Oh my God" from Cocoon, "Te extrano Te olvido Te amo" by Ricky Martin...so many songs...music is a great part of my life

[@megdoyle47]

When I was in grade 9(I think I was 13 or 14) I went on my very first trip by myself without parents or family, with my school. We travelled a few provinces over to Quebec, for our French class. We spent a week and a half travelling the cities, and doing all kinds of amazing and engaging things. One of my favourite parts, was going to this giant sacred church(I wish I could remember the name... it’s famous for the miracles that are preformed there) and buying a glass angel; I got it blessed by the priest while I was there, and gifted it to my favourite aunt. Two songs that instantly time warp me back to those sunny days, is “She’s got style - NeverShoutNever!” And “Kids - MGMT”

[@777marjory]

Meg Doyle the church is probably L’église Sainte-Anne i live in quebec city and from what you’re describing that would be it!! Its beautiful and i wanna get married there 😍 in english its called “Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré :)

[@megdoyle47]

777marjory that’s it I think! It is all the canes and crutches on the pillars, right?

[@777marjory]

Yes it is!

[@luvtinamc]

My grandmother used to sing "Danny Boy" to me when I was little. I'm almost 29 and still remember this. She passed almost 8 years ago. Everytime I hear it I have emotions of joy and emotions of sorrow. I can still hear her beautiful voice singing it.

[@sharonzona4346]

Every Billy Joel song reminds me of my dad. He was always a fan and listened to Billy's records (yes, records) and l became a fan because it's what I grew up with. I have been SO fortunate to be able to have seen Billy live 9 times now. I have always wanted to one day go to see him with my dad to kind of "pay him back" for introducing and encouraging my love of his music. I found out that this year, the day after my birthday, Billy would be in Atlanta to be the first musical act in the new Delta (Braves) Stadium. This was my chance! I called my step-mother and asked if she thought they could come down from NJ and "celebrate" my birthday with us. Long story short, they came and he and I got to go to the concert together. It was EVERYTHING l thought and wanted it to be. I will NEVER forget that night and I don't think he will either.

[@ellieandjared]

WE LOVE THIS! = )

[@sharonzona4346]

Ellie and Jared It truly was a dream come true. I got home and hugged my husband and told him how magical the night was through buckets of tears. It was AWESOME! I love your channel and you are such a positive family. It's so much fun watching Jackson and Calvin grow and don't get me started on the little man baking in mama's belly! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@brittanyvidal4648]

My sister passed away when she 17 in September 2016 and she always sang the song Dancing in Sky by Dani and Lizzy. We played that song at her funeral so it tugs at my heart sadly but also such a great memory of her precious voice singing one her favorite. Love you guys and appreciate such an uplifting, patient, and positive approach to Calvin's Potty Training Journey.

[@aniesatario9118]

I didn't realize the significance of this song until it was played in my History of Rock and Roll class yesterday. It's called will the circle be unbroken by Johnny Cash. It reminded me of the summer days I would spend with my family at my Nana's boyfriend's camp (he's like my Papa because I have never met my Papa and Clarence has been in my life forever). I remembered sitting on the porch singing it quietly with my Dad while my Nana and Clarence were sharing stories from the war. It made me realize how I need to appreciate times like that more because my Nana is 97 and I want to cherish the time I have left with her.

[@dnnuggie]

When I was young, my mom used to sing “I Love You Lord” to me and my siblings every night before we went to bed and anytime we needed to be held or soothed. My mom passed 11 years ago but to this day hearing that song brings me such peace. No matter who’s signing, I only hear it in my mom’s voice. I agree. Music is so powerful. I’m thankful that I had parents who made it such a huge part of my childhood that it’s a daily part of my life.

[@candaceswan]

I literally cheered for you Jared!!!! My boyfriend is a mechanic so I see him do stuff like that all the time. So I was just sitting here like, yes....you got it....so close....and when you saw it i was like YAAAAASSSSS. Hahaha.

[@julianicole7921]

Listening to music has always been my getaway place for me to truly think about my life and my purpose in life. I am always motivated to make a difference in my community, in the people I meet at my college, and my family of whom I love and adore, especially my father in particular. He is a reminder of my presence in this world. We share this special, one-of-a-kind bond that allows us to be true to one another, loyal, and compassionate. We also share this one passion of music of which we both can't live without. We love to listen to the 50's and 60's including The Monkees, The Everly Brothers, The Tokens, and most of all, the Beatles! Every time "Imagine" by John Lennon or "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles appear on the radio, their songs remind me of my father. When listening to these songs, all I can imagine and visualize is where the Beatles were united. It has always been my ultimate dream to recapture their moments in London and experience the revolution of change they created throughout generations. Only if I can go back in time and live the life when the Beatles made a difference through their music and from their words of wisdom (Also, keep in mind, I'm only 19) ^.^

[@makaylad8987]

Your family makes my day :) I’m proud of Calvin and how he’s improved with potty training!

[@laurenhp451]

Jared I love the edits they seriously make me laugh out loud!!! The rolling on the floor laughing and the potty training update and the Casey clip haha

[@sabinemckeown3605]

What a beautiful and intimate question to ask your audience thank you Jared! My mom is from Berlin Germany growing up I spent much of my life there playing in the Grünewald. Classical music or old German songs were played always through put the house in Schlachtensee Berlin. Thank you for bringing me this lovely memory today

[@lara221ios5]

Jared, your dad reminds me of my grandar who sadly past away for cancer this time last year He was only my step grandpar but he made a big imprint on my and your positive attitude got me though that had time in my life Love you guys Please keep making video So you can help someone else like me 💙💙

[@elizabethmalan1139]

The song “I come to the garden alone” will forever remind me of my Grandaddy. He planted thousands of flowers each year in his yard and at his church. All the way into his 90’s when his mind just gave out. I now sing it to my son when I put him to sleep. I find great comfort in knowing my sweet Grandaddy,who taught me about nature and the constellations, is now with our Maker and I can’t wait to hug him again one day ♥️

[@SnapesPrincess4]

I'm so happy to hear a great update for Calvin and his potty training!! (: Both my sister and my BFF are potty training their 2 boys right now too. My Gramma used to sing a bunch of Church Hymns. The one I am remembering now is "He walks with me, and He talks with me". When I hear it it brings me back to the days when she was alive. I miss that woman so very much. I inherited all my craftiness and my attitude from her, LOL!! Another couple are Delta Dawn & Teen Angel. Those were the songs my Mom knew when I was a baby, so instead of lullabies she sang those 2 songs to me. (:

[@sschackmann]

Amazing Grace reminds me of my Dad and sitting in church as a little girl and him singing it at the top of his lungs! Daddy can't carry a tune in a bucket, but i love to hear him sing!

[@marjoleinvlogs676]

When my grandmother passed away two years ago, me and my two sisters sang "Will the Circle be Unbroken" with my brother playing the piano. I did the first part and I choked up and started crying pretty quickly, looking at my grandma and all the people there. Then my sisters (who stood on both sides of me) both put an arms around me and sang my part so I could calm down and join in again. I get kind of sad hearing the song, but it also reminds me of that moment, which makes me feel my family's love and warmth

[@christybourque8098]

Yes! Soft 80’s rock brings me back to my childhood and so chills me out! Music really can have a impact in so many ways!!

[@BriannaSings15]

The Song “As a Deer” or “Kao Kosuta” in Montenegrin takes me back to my first mission trip when I got to visit the local church. The song sounded so beautiful in their language. Flash forward 4 years and my friend and I were just playing music one night and she began to play a song and I was like “I know this song, but not those words...” and I realized it was the song that I heard on my mission trip and I finally got to learn what it was in English and understand what they were singing! It was beautiful. My friend and I got to sing it at church and she sang it in english and I did in Montenegrin... it was one of those moments. Like I hummed that tune to everyone I knew at church trying to figure out the song in english... and at “random” it was revealed years later when I was praying about if I should return back for a mission trip there again! So this summer I’m going back!!

[@katieashby3092]

The songs “the road less traveled” and “run” by George straight take me straight to the Greys river. It’s our favorite place to camp as a family, I’ve grown up going there and those songs always immediately pull up the dirt road with the river running along it in my mind, and it makes me think of my Dad because the Greys is his favorite place in the entire world. Mine too!

[@traciesparks7012]

My Grandmother had a singing group with 3 other ladies in our church. How Great Thou Art, is the song that reminds me of her and Church when I was younger. I love that song and cannot listen to it without tearing up, even now typing this I am. I love and miss her so very much.

[@taneialarkin7409]

I normally dont write comments, but the last thing you said about music made me really want to.I am part of the LDS Church and when I was younger my Grandma always took me,so now when I go everytime I sing the songs at church I htink of her and get emotional every time! She passed away two years ago.I love all music and am always moved and start crying and my kids think im crazy.lol.Music is powerful!! Love you Mecham Family!

[@karrieg3]

"I Wonder When He Comes Again" reminds me of my mom and it takes me back to my childhood. When I was scared at night my mother would sing it to me. I love you mom!

Wow there are so many songs from the 70s and 80s that take me back to my childhood. One of them in particular was sung for the ‘Grease’ Movie, ‘Your the one that I want’. Actually all those songs from that film take me back to my high school days when I was 16 and all the shenanigans my friends and I would get up too. Elle I love the fact that you still have that blanket that your mum made.

James Taylor and his music has been so important in my life..any time I hear him it takes me back to my North Carolina home

John Mellencamp “ A hand to hold on to” always reminds me of my Dad he has been gone 5 years this month he loved all his songs but that one was always special between us!! Miss him so much!! I remember potty training my boys and I use to put cheerios in the toilet for them to sink so they got better aim and less of a mess for me lol but good luck and great job Calvin!!!

[@rebeccahein6517]

We are also potty training our youngest boy who was born about a month before Calvin. It is so incredibly draining and emotional (on both the parents and kiddos). We are having more and more success each day, except at night which just results in more laundry every morning. Glad to hear it’s going well! Good job Calvin!!

Willie Nelson's City of New Orleans is a song I can't hear without thinking of my dad. He used to sing to my older sister and I every night before bed with his guitar, and that was one of the main songs he sang to us. I was around 4 years old when my parents divorced, so I remember before that, it was our night time ritual, and once we moved away from him, I missed it a lot. I remember hearing it on the radio later on, and thinking someone has stolen my Dad's song, and I was super angry about it lol. When I got married years later, I had that song played for our Father/Daughter dance, and we both cried. Still always think of my Dad when I hear Willie Nelson.

GOOD JOB, Jared!🚗🎉👌👍👍 Silent Night always reminds me of my Nana, who taught it to me, and my six cousins, in German when we were little. Her family came over from Stuttgart, and she spoke only German growing up, until she went to school. ...Salt of the earth, my Nana~❤️

Love the quilt your mom made...my 14 yr old made a quilt similar to that one last year for 4H county fair...she learned how to cross stitch and made the quilt for our town librarian...she has been making quilts since she was 5

[@karissachandler2814]

Honestly the whole soundtrack from the greatest showman is amazing and still impacts me when I hear it. I think of how I want to make my two little boys’ lives a wonderful, magical journey, how I love my husband and I would follow him anywhere he would lead our family with God leading him and also to not get caught up in material goals but to focus on what is truly important to me ❤️ you guys are so great! Thank you for doing what you do!

[@samanthanicholls6099]

Mountain Music by Alabama!!! This was our “family song” growing up and every time I listen to it, it automatically takes me back to when I was a kid on road trips with my family!

[@janicebarkmann]

You are my sunshine. My mom passed when I WAS 16. BUT I hear that song and I am 4 in her lap. Love it!!

[@Liv-sc4us]

How great thou art- my grandfather. Brings me to tears

[@millieprins1594]

“You are my sunshine”. My dad was in the military and when ever he was deployed he would call us and sing it. It was always the most special when it was on the voicemail. A song that takes me somewhere is Girl Crush by Little Big Town. My friend’s dad was also in the military but tragically died in a helicopter crash. After that she started to drift away but we always sat next to each other on the bus so she would play that song and it brought us back together.

You've got a friend in me during toy story always instantly takes me back, it was my brothers faveourite movie and he had the soundtrack, I remember dancing around the living room with my brother, sister and mum too it :) now my little boy who's my brothers name sake is just as obsessed as my brother was and lives dancing to it, it just fills me with gratitude of how precious the small moments are

[@FBLeach-lx9sr]

Somewhere Over the Rainbow. My late son passes away when he was 7 after a 4 year battle with brain cancer. He was obsessed with rainbows and all things bright and colourful. We played somewhere over the Rainbow at his funeral. Hit me with your best shot was also a song that reminds me of him. He learned the chorus of the song on to sing to his nurses after his second relapse. He was 6. Every time it plays I hear him singing it and grooving down to it. Love and miss him.

I love the little potty training updates and the little intro! Love you guys so so much

[@LittleMissy1234]

The JCB song reminds me of me and my dad's relationship. It's silly but the lyrics are just so true to us. We've always been close and I've always looked up to him. Any time we hear the song we just look at each other and we know. :) very grateful for music, too!

[@FranciandLily]

my magical music moment was when my dance troupe was getting ready to go on stage for our final competition of the year and we were practising in the dressing room. We didn't have the music so we all sang the lyrics to the song. The best thing was that we were just having fun performing a dance we all loved! xx

[@NailPolishGurll]

"I'm already There" by Lonestar. My dad used to leave frequently on work trips. He told me once that he listened to this song when he was gone and thinks about his kids and wife. He told me that no matter where he is, he is always there with us in our hearts. Now that I am far away from home, I play this and think of my dad :)

[@jhulett6]

"I'll Fly Away"- my grandpa played fiddle and sang so many songs. And "Amazing Grace" was my grandma's favorite.

[@thenewgeneration2378]

"Temporary home" by Carrie Underwood, it reminds me of traveling all the time as a military kid. You always know you aren't staying long, but there's always new adventures and new people to meet.

[@thetimeinbetween8857]

"Every storm runs outta rain" is a song we listened to when we went through our miscarriages and just hard times! It was just encouraging us and reminding us it would be better soon. So it reminds us of our babies!!!

[@rendidakoontz110]

The song that I think of most is "Daddy's Hands" by Holly Dunn, It reminds me so much of my father growing up he always worked with his hands. He was a contractor who could and did work on every stage of building houses. One thing that always stuck with me was how calloused and how strong his hands were. Even though my dad had trouble saying the words I always knew he loved me. When he was alive it was our song and I used to sing it to him... I lost him 11 years ago as of today and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't play that song... I love your blog thank you for sharing... Rendida

[@sabrinacoppola3149]

“The Gods Were Angry With Me” by Jim Reeves always takes me back to sitting in my Grandpa’s little red truck as we would drive around for hours taking new roads we never been on before, and just seeing where they went. My Grandpa would alway say “ I’m never lost, I always can find my way back home. We would sing along cassette tapes and just enjoy each other’s company. Though my grandpa has passed on, I always remember that when I’m driving around and listening to this song, I’m never lost and I can always find my way back home.

[@nssnstn18]

A song that reminds me of someone special is "A Few Of My Favorite Things" and it reminds me of my grandma. She taught me before she passed away from Ovarian/Cervical to treasure the small things in life. She never had to say it to me but rather showed me through her love and the things she would do with me. Still to this day I LOVE the movie "Sound of Music" where that song is commonly known from. I miss my grandma dearly even though she's been passed away since I was 7 1/2 and I'm now 32 years old. If there was one thing in life that I could wish for is to have her back.

[@dgc2008]

The song "Trust and Obey" takes me back to my childhood standing in church beside my Grandmother, listening to her sing the beautiful words.

[@ellieandjared]

Love this!
